NaPoWriMo 2017: Retrospect

For the second time now, throughout the month of April I wrote one poem every day in recognition of National Poetry Writing Month.

I first wrote for NaPoWriMo soon after I initially began to write poetry, meaning that, with the completion of NaPoWriMo 2017, a milestone of 1 year of writing poetry has been reached. That is, for over 365 days I have been phrasing words in a prolonged attempt at creative writing, and I am happy that I have lasted this long. In any case, NaPoWriMo was a wonderful literary challenge—it certainly got more difficult to keep up with the cyclic passage of the sun as time went on, especially when I ended up being on an out-of-country that ripped me away from the wonderful (addictive and desensitizing) realm of the internet. Cheers to the passage of April 2017, and I'll be waiting happily for the arrival of NaPoWriMo 2018.
